IMPROVEMENTS.
There has been considerable building
done during the last year. DIR. J. L
Brown, our physician, has built himself
4 very nice dwelling house. Mrs. X. l..
Clendenln has also built "a Large addition
To her house, and entirely remude lied her
tenant house. Mr. J. Ii. jhaIsha has
also built himself a tine new dwelling.
Mr.. James G~lnu has built an addition
to his house, something on the English
style. 1t Is for his own benefit, when he
is home, as the most OF his time he is Ill
Europe. Mr.. Gwinn is the European
buyer for MeCreary " Co., OF New York.
50 you see We are not behind the times
III the improvement line.
FLOURIsHING SCHOOL.
We have a very fine public school in
charge OF Miss Ella Staats as principal
The school is larger than it has been for
several years, and | think if 1t continues
to grow tho commissioners will have To-
bulid a new school house, or Miss Staats
will be compelled to refuse taking any
more SCHOLARS. 1t certainly speaks well
for Eer as It's teacher.
